UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS BACHELOR OF ARTS PREPARATION Before declaring the major, students must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in one of the following: COMM 1A (formerly COMM 1) or COMM 1B COMM 106 COMM 108 Students interested in declaring the major should see the student services administrator in Building 120, Room 110A during scheduled office hours.

The Department of Communication engages in research in communication and offers curricula leading to the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. The M.A. degree prepares students for a career in journalism. The department also offers students who are completing a B.A. in another department, a coterminal program with an M.A. emphasis in Media Studies. The Ph.D. degree leads to careers in university teaching and research-related specialties. The Institute for Communication Research offers research experience primarily to advanced Ph.D. students. The John S. Knight Fellowships program brings outstanding mid-career journalists to the University to study for an academic year. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation sponsors twelve U.S. journalists. They are joined by eight International Fellows sponsored by the Shinyoung Journalism Fund, the Lyle and Corrine Nelson International Fellowship Fund, the Knight Foundation, the Hearst Foundation, the Fulbright Program, the Koura Foundation, and others.

PROGRAM OF STUDY The undergraduate curriculum is intended for liberal arts students who wish to develop a fundamental understanding of communication in society, drawing on the perspective of the social sciences. Undergraduate students majoring in communication are expected to become acquainted with the fundamental concerns, theoretical approaches, and methods of the field, and to acquire advanced knowledge in one or more of the sub-areas of communication institutions, processes, and effects. While the department does not attempt to provide comprehensive practical training at the undergraduate level, the curriculum provides a diverse range of internship opportunities including professional print journalism, some of which are funded by the department’s prestigious Rebele Internship Program.

Communication

ADMISSION

COMMUNICATION

SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SCIENCES

The department is committed to providing students with the analytical and critical skills that are necessary for future success, be it in graduate programs, professional schools, or immediate career entry. The major is structured to provide several levels of study: a core curriculum, intended to expose students to a broad-based understanding of communication theory and research, and a number of intermediate-level options and electives. Majors also have the opportunity to do advanced research in the form of senior projects and honors theses. All undergraduate majors are required to complete a set of core communication courses which include COMM 1A (formerly COMM 1), Media Technologies, People, and Society (5 units) or COMM 1B, Media, Culture and Society (5 units); COMM 120, Digital Media in Society (WIM, 5 units); COMM 106, Communication Research Methods (5 units); and COMM 108, Media Processes and Effects (5 units). Core courses are usually given only once each year. The department also requires completion of or concurrent registration in an introductory statistics course (STATS 60 or PSYCH 10) prior to registration in COMM 106, Communication Research Methods, in preparation for courses in methodology and advanced courses in communication processes and effects. It is recommended that this be done as soon as possible so as not to prevent registration in a course requiring statistical understanding. In addition to the core courses and the statistics requirement, undergraduate majors select courses from the areas described below. Many of the courses require core courses as prerequisites. Area I: Communication Processes and Effects—Area I emphasizes the ways in which communication scholars conduct research in, and consider the issues of, human communication. These studies aim to provide expert guidance for social policy makers and media professionals. A minimum of two courses must be taken from COMM 135, 146, 160, 162, 166, 169, 170, 172. Area II: Communication Systems/Institutions—Area II considers the roles and interaction of institutions such as broadcasting, film, journalism, constitutional law, and business within communication and mass communication contexts. A minimum of two courses must be taken from COMM 104, 114, 116, 120, 122A or B, 125, 131, 136, 141A or B, 148. Tracks—The communication curriculum is designed to provide a theoretical base that can be effectively applied to numerous environments.

The Press and the Political Process The remainder of the 60 required units may be fulfilled with any elective Communication courses, or crosslisted courses in other departments. To be recommended for the B.A. degree in Communication, the student must complete at least 60 units (approximately twelve courses) in the department. No more than 10 units of transfer credit or Summer Session may be applied to meet department requirements. Communication majors must receive a letter grade for all Communication courses unless they are offered only for satisfactory/no credit (S/NC), and maintain a C average (2.0) in courses towards the major. Internship Opportunities—Internship credit is available for Communication majors and minors. For those interested in internships, select “Internships” at http://communication.stanford.edu. Communication students who have received academic credit for internship experience through COMM 185 have prepared reports which are available in the department’s Mendenhall Library. MINORS PREPARATION

Before declaring the minor, students must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in one of the following: COMM 1A (formerly COMM 1) or COMM 1B COMM 106 COMM 108 Students interested in declaring the minor should apply via Axess. Students are required to take at least 40 units (approximately 8 courses), not counting statistics, to complete the minor. PROGRAM OF STUDY

The minor is structured to provide a foundation for advanced course work in communication through a broad-based understanding of communication theory and research. The minor in Communication consists of three introductory Communication core courses that include COMM 1A (formerly COMM 1), Media Technologies, People, and Society (5 units) or COMM 1B, Media, Culture, and Society (5 units); COMM 106, Communication Research Methods (5 units); and COMM 108, Media Processes and Effects (5 units). In addition to the three core courses, the minor requires a minimum of five intermediate-level elective courses in the department. The department also requires completion of or concurrent registration in an introductory statistics course (STATS 60 or PSYCH 10) prior to registration in COMM 106, Communication Research Methods. It is strongly recommended that the course in statistics be taken as early as possible, preferably in the Autumn Quarter of the junior year. The Statistics course does not count toward the 40 units to complete the Communication minor. Students interested in declaring a minor must do so no later than registration day in the Autumn Quarter of the junior year. Core courses are usually offered only once annually, and they constitute a sequence: Prerequisite: introductory statistics course (for example, PSYCH 10) Core Courses: COMM 1A (formerly COMM 1) or COMM 1B, 106, 108 Area I: Communication Processes and Effects: a minimum of one course from COMM 135, 146, 160, 162, 166, 169, 170, 172

on different criteria. A student may complete more than one M.A. degree in the department, but course work applied to the requirements for one M.A. degree may not be applied to a second. All work to fulfill graduate degree requirements must be in courses numbered 100 or above. Students who complete an M.A. degree and who desire entry into the Ph.D. program must file a Graduate Program Authorization Petition application that may be picked up at the Registrar’s Information Windows or at http://registrar.stanford.edu/publications/#GradStud. Such students are considered alongside all other doctoral applicants. The M.A. degree in Media Studies is only available to current Stanford University undergraduates who are majoring in another department. See more information on subsequent pages for additional description.

HONORS PROGRAM The honors program provides undergraduates the opportunity to undertake a significant program of research in an individual professor/student mentoring relationship. The aim is to guide students through the process of research, analysis, drafting, rethinking, and redrafting, which is essential to excellence in scholarship. Working one-on-one with a faculty adviser, seniors earn 15 Communication units, culminating in an honors thesis. In order to be eligible for the honors program, interested majors must have: (1) successfully completed both a research methods and statistics course, (2) selected an adviser, and (3) submitted an application to the department by the end of their junior year. An application may be picked up outside Room 110, Building 120. Students are expected to make steady progress on their honors thesis throughout the year. Students who fail to submit a satisfactory draft Autumn Quarter will be dropped from the program. A final copy of the honors thesis must be read and approved by the adviser and submitted to the department by the eighth week of Spring Quarter (exact date to be arranged). It becomes part of a permanent record held by the department. Honors work may be used to fulfill communication elective credit but must be completed and a letter grade submitted prior to graduation. A student failing to fulfill all honors requirements may still receive independent study credit for work completed and it may be applied toward fulfilling major requirements. The designation “graduation with honors” is awarded by the Department of Communication to those graduating seniors who, in addition to having completed all requirements for the Communication major: 1. complete an honors thesis 2. maintain a distinguished grade point average (GPA) in all Communication course work 3. are recommended by the Communication faculty

JOURNALISM Stanford’s Graduate Program in Journalism focuses on the knowledge and skills required to report, analyze, and write authoritatively about public issues. The curriculum combines a sequence of specialized reporting and writing courses with seminars and courses devoted to deepening the students’ understanding of the roles and responsibilities of American news media in their coverage of public issues. The program emphasizes preparation for the practice of journalism and a critical perspective from which to understand it. The program’s objective is twofold: (1) to graduate talented reporters and writers to foster public understanding of the significance and consequences of public issues and the debates they engender; and (2) to graduate thoughtful journalists to respond openly and eloquently when called on to explain and defend the methods of their reporting and the quality of their writing. CURRICULUM

The curriculum includes nine required courses and a master’s project: 216. Journalism Law 217. Digital Journalism 220. Digital Media in Society 225. Perspectives on American Journalism 236. Democracy and the Communication of Consent 273. Public Issues Reporting I 274. Public Issues Reporting II 289. Journalism M.A. Project 291. Graduate Journalism Seminar

COTERMINAL BACHELOR’S AND MASTER’S PROGRAM

Additionally, students are required to take two specialized writing courses, typically one each during Winter and Spring quarters; and one or two approved electives from among graduate-level courses in the Department of Communication, or from among courses on campus that deal substantively with issues of public importance. The M.A. degree in Communication (Journalism) requires a minimum of 49 units. A typical schedule follows:

The Department of Communication offers students who are completing a B.A. in another department, a coterminal program with an M.A. emphasis in Media Studies; see “Media Studies Program” below for more information. Applications for coterminal study must be submitted at least four quarters in advance of the expected master’s degree conferral date. Applicants must have earned a minimum of 120 units toward graduation (UTG) as shown on the undergraduate unofficial transcript. This includes allowable advanced placement (AP) and transfer credit. Applications may be submitted no later than December 1, 2005 for admission beginning in either Winter or Spring Quarter 2005-06 or Autumn Quarter 2006-07. There is no rolling admission in the Communication department. Requirements include: Application for Admission to Coterminal Master’s Program form, preliminary program proposal, statement of purpose, three letters of recommendation from Stanford professors, and a current Stanford transcript. GRE scores are not required. Coterminal applications are submitted directly to the department. Review procedures and the Graduate Admissions Committee determine criteria. For University coterminal degree program rules and University application forms, see http://registrar.stanford.edu/publications/#Coterm.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS MASTER OF ARTS University requirements for the master’s degree are described in the “Graduate Degrees” section of this bulletin. The department awards a terminal M.A. degree in Journalism. Applicants for this program, and for doctoral work, are evaluated for admission

JOURNALISM PROJECT

The master’s project, a requirement for graduation, is intended as an opportunity for students to showcase their talents as writers and reporters. It is also an opportunity to undertake an in-depth critique of an area 311

Communication

Area II: Communication Systems/Institutions: a minimum of one course from COMM 104, 114, 116, 120, 122A or B, 125, 131, 136, 141A or B, 148, 238 Plus elective courses amounting to 15 units. Some courses are not given every year. Refer to program handout and the Time Schedule for details.

SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SCIENCES

of journalism in which the author has a special interest. Work on the project usually begins during the Winter Quarter and continues through the Spring Quarter. It represents a major commitment of time, research, and writing. Although it is not a requirement that the project be published, it must be judged by a member of the faculty to be of a quality acceptable for publication. At a minimum, the project should demonstrate the rigor and discipline required of good scholarship and good journalism; it should offer ample evidence of students’ ability to gather, analyze, and synthesize information in a manner that goes beyond what ordinarily appears in daily newspapers.

b) The project must be supervised by a faculty member, usually the professor who taught the course that inspired the project (but not necessarily the student’s adviser for the Media Studies program). Only a faculty member, not a Ph.D. student, can approve a topic and supervise a paper. * These courses are designed for Ph.D. students. Master’s students are unlikely to be admitted to take them, but the final decision is up to the faculty.

Additional courses are selected in consultation with an academic adviser. A course in statistical methods is strongly recommended.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

MEDIA STUDIES The Media Studies coterminal master’s program provides a broad introduction to scholarly literature in mass communication. This one-year program is designed for current Stanford students without prior academic work in communication, who wish academic preparation for teaching. Media Studies students need to satisfy four basic requirements: 1. Required Units and GPA: students must complete a minimum of 45 units in Communication and related areas, including items 2 and 3 below. All courses, except for the Media Studies M.A. Project, must be taken for a letter grade if offered, and courses in related areas outside the department must be approved by the student’s adviser. To remain in good academic standing, students must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better. Graduation requires a GPA of 3.0 or better. 2. Core Requirements: students must complete COMM 206, 208, and a statistics course. Typically, the statistics requirement is met with STATS 160 or 190. Other courses occasionally are approved as a substitute before the student is admitted to the program. The Statistics course does not count toward the 45 units. 3. Six Media Studies Courses: students must complete a minimum of 6 additional communication courses from the following list of department courses concerned with the study of media. While the department also offers graduate-level courses teaching media-related skills (e.g., COMM 277), these courses are intentionally excluded from the list. Not all the listed courses are offered every year and the list may be updated from one year to the next. However, its intent is to include only courses in media studies, not media skills. In addition to the core requirements and a minimum of 6 courses listed below, students may select additional courses from the list and any related course approved by the student’s adviser.

University requirements for the Ph.D. are described in the “Graduate Degrees” section of this bulletin. The minimum number of academic units required for the Ph.D. at Stanford is 135, up to 45 of which can be transferred either from a master’s degree at the University or from another accredited institution. The department offers a Ph.D. in Communication Theory and Research. First-year students are required to complete introductory courses in communication theory and research, research methods, and statistics. These core courses, grounded in the social science literature, emphasize how people respond to media and how media institutions function. In addition, Ph.D. students must complete a minimum of three literature survey courses and related advanced seminars in Communication. Students also take significant course work outside the department in their area of interest. Each student builds a research specialty relating communication to current faculty interests in such areas as ethics, human-computer interactions, information processing, information technology, law, online communities, politics and voting, virtual reality, and youth and media. Regardless of the area of specialization, the Ph.D. program is designed primarily for students interested in university research and teaching or other research or analyst positions. The Ph.D. program encompasses four years of graduate study (subsequent to completion of the B.A. degree) during which, in addition to fulfilling University residency requirements, Ph.D. candidates are required to: 1. Complete all departmental course requirements with grades of ‘B+’ or above. Currently these courses include COMM 206, 208, 311, 314 or 318, 317, and 319. Students are also required to take two quarters of statistics or one quarter of statistics and an advanced methods course. 2. Pass the general qualifying examinations by the end of the second academic year of study and pass a specialized area examination by the end of the third academic year of study. 3. Demonstrate proficiency in tools required in the area of research specialization. Identified with the advice of the faculty, such tools may include detailed theoretical knowledge, advanced statistical methods, computer programming, a foreign language, or other technical skills. 4. Complete at least two pre-dissertation research projects (the Major Project and the Complementary Project). 5. Teach or assist in teaching at least two courses, preferably two different courses, at least one of which is ideally a core undergraduate course (COMM 1, 106, and 108). 6. Complete a dissertation proposal and proposal meeting approved by the dissertation committee. 7. Apply for candidacy by the end of the second year of graduate study. The requirements and procedures for applying for candidacy can be found in the document, “Official Rules and Procedures for the Ph.D. in the Department of Communication,” available from the student services administrator of the department. 8. Complete a dissertation satisfactory to a reading committee of three or more faculty members in the Department of Communication and one faculty member not in the Department of Communication. 9. Pass the University oral examination, which is a defense of the dissertation. Because the multifaceted nature of the department makes it possible for the Ph.D. student to specialize in areas that draw on different related disciplines, the plan of study is individualized and developed between the faculty adviser and the student.
